Nice work as usual, BoxerMetal.
Looks like a clean solution for those keeping factory tree and risers, especially if they have a RT or RS and need an ignition key mount.

Beautiful mount. VERY NICELY DONE!!!!!!

It seems like most folks are using aftermarket headlight mounts when building a cafe racer out of a boxer. This also works well for the G/S and GS guys as the ignition switch is in that area stock. This afternoon I will have a product that fills that large hole in the side of the headlight bucket with an 8mm threaded hole in the center for a mirror or the same hardware that is stock on the right side.

Great job, Chris

I am planning out the wiring for my installation.
Scanned the microscopic wiring schematic from the owner's manual. Now I zoom in and actually read it:

I just installed one for a customer and there is no reason you should have to go to this much work. Solder the blue wire from the main harness to the proper wire on the Acewell and be done.

Chris, this is in reference to "charge" light on the Acewell. I understand how the charging circuit works on the stock BMW and how the generator light works in the stock instrument cluster. I do not have a schematic of the Acewell internals, so I don't know how its charge light works. Would I be wrong to assume that it functions just like the stock BMW light?

It does function like the stock set up which I believe on the stock harness there is a second black wire that is hot with the key on that is the switched hot for the Acewell. I have to look at my drawing I did for the last one I wired up.

Yes, the switched hot (key on) is the green/black wire on my bike (may be a green/blue on some bikes). I will test the blue wire (BMW harness) connected to the Acewell "charge light" wire. Thanks for the input.
